Reaction Flask Valve Has No “Hang-Up” During Drainage
The new Zero Dead Space (ZDS(TM)) valve is designed for larger reaction flasks from bench scale to pilot plant scale. This new valve, when in the full open position allows for complete product drainage and has no “hang-up” where material can be trapped or suspended. The product drains through openings in the valve stem and […]
PRG 2-Finger Radial Gripper
The new PRG 2-Finger Radial Gripper from SCHUNK combines high gripping moments with small dimensions. The integrated pneumatic oval piston drive guarantees maximum power density. Radial gripping motions are often achieved by integrating a slotted link gear. Existing links cause an extreme reduction in the gripping moment, if the opening angles are rather small. SCHUNK […]

Sealed Two-Finger Parallel Gripper
The successful DPGplus series of sealed 2-finger parallel grippers has been extended with sizes 240 and 300. The pneumatic drive with oval pistons and the multi-tooth guides ensure precise and reliable gripping. This ensures a high level of machine up time and high returns from production and assembly applications. The DPGplus sealed 2-finger parallel gripper […]
DUAL SENSOR FOR C-GROOVE CYLINDERS
BIM-UNR Dual Sensor (High-Res) TURCK’s BIM-UNR line of compact magnetic cylinder position sensors now includes a dual sensor designed for detecting short and long stroke C-groove cylinders. BIM-UNR dual sensors provide a distinct advantage by combining two sensors through one cable connection to speed installation, as well as lessen wire costs and connection points. This […]
Solenoid Valves Are No Match For Jet Valves
Festo is launching a new series of jet valves that are said to provide exceptionally rapid switching times of less than 1ms – an order of magnitude faster than standard pneumatic solenoid valves. Based on a new design featuring just one moving part, the new MHJ series jet valves also provide very high switching time […]
